  • In the end, the stock market is a natural logical progression from the starts of capitalism, and the situation we are in today is again closer to capitalism logical conclusion

    From capitalism's basic principles, profit above literally everything was always bound to happen. Just how evolution happens through natural selection. It's a similar process. Because ultimately capitalism is an economic system built on competition, not cooperation.

  • I have like the exact opposite issue. I've used windows for most of my life but it's so so much harder to actually fix issues in windows compared to Linux

    And for me, the big reason for this is because windows is a black box, Linux is not. You are always able to dig however deep you'd like in Linux compared to windows. Now, that might not be relevant for a layperson directly, but what it does mean is that someone else can understand the system component intimately and help you.

    Meanwhile on windows the amount of "run this command that we auto-post to every issue report that doesn't work" I've seen is ridiculous, and it never solved the problem. And then I try to dig into how to actually solve it, and really struggle so much more.

    Also, Microsoft just sucks as a company. Recently I've wanted to clone a windows installation to an external drive. Should work fine, right? I could easily get that to work for Linux, and any issue that popped up I could fix. So, tried to use clonezilla, didn't work. Ok fine, let me reinstall. Turns out Microsoft dropped support for windows on an external drive. Well that's garbage and dumb, as I've used this to my benefit in the past. But turns out, people say it still actually works, you just need to use a third party tool. Which doesn't inspire confidence, but whatever

    And it did work in the end, but it took me many many hours of extra work of trying to figure out what the problem was, giving up, then looking for more information on alternate solutions, then finally finding something that worked, albeit with more work on my part

    But if it was a Linux installation I'd have been finished in an hour probably, because I expect that cloning a drive would work without much issue there

  • Forreal

    Terraforming mars is like, a neat idea that maybe we can try as a super long term project for humanity once most of our problems are solved but..

    It's not a solution. It's not easy, and definitively not easier than solving our projects down here on earth. It's like, instead of repairing your leaky roof you go out and plan to build an underwater waterproof habitat dome for yourself

  • Or anything else really

    It's hell to try to understand something someone gave you if they don't label things properly. It's like "I can see there is a number here, but what the fuck does the number mean"

  • Yeah, when I watched a synopsis of the story, multiple alarm bells rang in my head midway through watching it. He's so gullible for how rich he fucking was

    So the twist that was that they were all the same person, didn't even surprise me, you could see that it was a scam a mile away if you were paying attention

    The scammer was pretty good, though, I will give them that. Too bad the scammer was also pretty dumb about how the handle the money after the fact, and got caught lmao.

  • In my opinion, most likely yes!

    But empires can take decades/centuries to fall. I'm aure it's different in the modern age with modern technology but america might still hold out for decades

    I'd argue that the American Empire has been in decline for decades now, however
